About the Books

Contented Dementia
Having sold over 42,000 copies, this is the book that started a revolution in the way people suffering from age-related cognitive impairment are cared for in the UK. As practical as it is compassionate, Contented Dementia will change everything you think you know about how to best care for this vulnerable population.

See Me as a Person
Although the book See Me as a Person was designed for use by professional clinicians, it provides a beautiful accompaniment to Contented Dementia. It will help to deepen the understanding of anyone working with people suffering from dementia. To read the Introduction, click here.
